YouTube star and fashion blogger Dina Torkia has received a wave of abusive and offensive comments on social media since she stopped wearing a hijab, the Daily Mail reports.

Dina, who has more than a million followers on Instagram, said she had made a ‘personal decision to wear it when I want to’.

In a video called The Bad, The Worse And The Ugly she reads out the torrent of abuse she has received from strangers on Facebook.

Even in an uninterrupted 47-minute-video the fashion blogger is only able to get through some of the nasty messages.

Among the offensive and unsolicited posts, one comment said she would “be a porn star” while another called her a “sick person mentally”.

Many posts questioned her faith, with one saying “she’s not a Muslim any more” and another writing she was “messed up” and had “made Islam look bad”.

Another called her a “part-time Muslim” while yet another said “you can’t just wear a hijab when you feel like it”.

Others made uninvited comments on her personal appearance, saying she was “ugly and gross” without the scarf.

The nastiest messages called for her death and used a range of offensive terms to describe her.

Last year she referred to the hijab community as a “toxic cult” and said she would only wear it when she chose to.

She later explained the comment in more detail, saying: “I’m referring to the onslaught of slander and insults I’ve received from a community that I was very much a part of and helped build… all because of my personal decision to basically wear it when I want to.”

She said on Twitter: “I’ve only just started showing my hair over the past few months, every now and then whenever I have felt comfortable to do so.”

“Some days I’m more comfortable covering my hair and other days I am more comfortable showing it. That’s just it.”
